PVCs and B P Measuring

When I was having missed/early beats I had problems getting a reading on
the machines in the supermarkets/drugstores. I was having PACs not
PVCs.

I have frequent PVCs, up to 18 per minute as shown on a Holter
monitor. Will these cause a wrong B P reading either from manual or
automatic checking of B P? The PVCs sound just like a missed beat.
Male age 60 if that makes a difference.

Shouldn't.

However, you should be evaluated by a cardiologist for the frequent
PVCs. They may not be benign.

When I have SVTs, my blood pressure reading is quite low. The EP cardiologist
said not to worry. I also have PACS and PVTs which all happened after my
CABGX5 Hmmm. Maybe Dr. Chung can comment on this. I think the above site
is so easy to read and informative re the ecg and different arrythmias. jmho

You should be in good hands under the care of an EP cardiologist.
